Celebrating a Thriving Camp Ministry!
Something awesome transpired at the 75th Annual Meeting of the Membership. A worship service broke out! And how could it not considering the amazing reports shared, highlighting vision, youth and family, women’s events, facilities, and finances! The numbers and stories tell the amazing story of God’s amazing work at this amazing place.
Sixteen of twenty member churches were represented, with 75 in attendance, including Board and staff. Eagle’s Nest was full and upbeat, with Camp coming off a record year and gym construction just months away. Many thanks to delegates and guests driving in from Albert Lea, Detroit Lakes, and many locations in between. A special shout out to Camp’s dedicated Board, whose strong, visionary leadership grows stability and inspires progress.
